      Rename 'smcc' to 'smccc' · 085e80ec

      When the source code says 'SMCC' it is talking about the SMC Calling
      Convention. The correct acronym is SMCCC. This affects a few definitions
      and file names.
      
      Some files have been renamed (smcc.h, smcc_helpers.h and smcc_macros.S)
      but the old files have been kept for compatibility, they include the
      new ones with an ERROR_DEPRECATED guard.

      Introduce ARM SiP service to switch execution state · b10d4499
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      In AArch64, privileged exception levels control the execution state
      (a.k.a. register width) of the immediate lower Exception Level; i.e.
      whether the lower exception level executes in AArch64 or AArch32 state.
      For an exception level to have its execution state changed at run time,
      it must request the change by raising a synchronous exception to the
      higher exception level.
      
      This patch implements and adds such a provision to the ARM SiP service,
      by which an immediate lower exception level can request to switch its
      execution state. The execution state is switched if the request is:
      
        - raised from non-secure world;
      
        - raised on the primary CPU, before any secondaries are brought online
          with CPU_ON PSCI call;
      
        - raised from an exception level immediately below EL3: EL2, if
          implemented; otherwise NS EL1.
      
      If successful, the SMC doesn't return to the caller, but to the entry
      point supplied with the call. Otherwise, the caller will observe the SMC
      returning with STATE_SW_E_DENIED code. If ARM Trusted Firmware is built
      for AArch32, the feature is not supported, and the call will always
      fail.
      
      For the ARM SiP service:
      
        - Add SMC function IDs for both AArch32 and AArch64;
        - Increment the SiP service minor version to 2;
        - Adjust the number of supported SiP service calls.
      
      Add documentation for ARM SiP service.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#436
